【加州陽光MBA男孩的無病呻吟】Jump!

The Devil Wears Prada was really awesome. When the trailer was on TV, it came out with Madonna’s ”Jump”. I could not help falling in love with this song and the lyrics. So I decided no matter how, I had to watch this movie.

Many people had the same experience when they had to fight against the evil boss and always needed to think through what they really wanted. So did I. When I saw the movie, every scene was so vivid. I was like reviewing myself by what Andy had been through. My previous boss might not be as cruel as Miranda. But I still appreicated his training to make me grow. And I also learned that, sometimes, you have to give up everything and chase what you really want.

How bad you want it? Then how much you have to give to earn it!



My 2nd year MBA has passed for almost two months. Sometimes I got swamped in many different things. School, club, part-time job, job searching.... somehow I feel like I am using all of my time to experience a totally different life. I am living my life every minute greedily and really testing my limit. Maybe it is a way for me to recover. Time heals. But, how long will it take? I don’t know. I just know that I have to move on. Ready to jump?

Jump -- Madonna / Confessions on a dance floor

There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven’t got much time to waste
It’s time to make my way
I’m not afraid I’ll face
But I’m afraid to stay
I’m going down my own road
And I can make it alone
All work and no fighting
I’ll find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life’s gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?

(Spoken:)
There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait, the more time that you waste

All work and no fighting, I’ll find a place of my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own

I can make alone (7x)

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?
